So Far Behind

I went to empty my card from my camera to get it ready for our trip this week and noticed just how far behind on blogging I really am. That may explain why I have 5 readers only.

I have been really stressed at work for the past few months with someone being off on short term disability. You don't realize just how much that effects the entire company. Anyway, I have been really looking forward to our road trip with the older boys to Disneyland/Legoland/Universal Studios/Las Vegas and a few ball games thrown in there. I decided at the last minute to take this week off to decompress and to get my head in the game. My bosses were fantastic and didn't even bat an eye in letting me go for 3 straight weeks...they even gave me a little gift of appreciation. I can honestly say that I love where I am working and I enjoy going to work each and every day.

Today is Father's day and poor Boris had to work but as an homage to him, I am posting one of his best bbq ribs he has ever done.



Owen is definitely becoming a comedian...I mean how many other kids do you know who have their own plunger (clean and purchased just for him to play with so he would leave the bathroom one alone). He is like a mini Carrot Top.



Do you know what is flippin impossible?????? Making 3 boys look good at the same time for a picture.




I give up!!

Ok so to give those of you who don't know my brother in law a little insight...everything is fixable and he can fix it...even when it is not broken. Just ask my sister who looks like she has been paintballing. How did she get all her bruises?? Well Benny has discovered how to "modify" nerf guns INCLUDING one for 3 year old Quinn. I can tell you first hand that those suckers hurt. They come flying at you with the force of a paintball gun and they have the speed to go far distances.



How much do you love Jon's sunglasses?

Owen is starting to want to sit on the toilet because all the other dayhome kids do. I am not one to complain. I don't like pull ups because I feel like it is too much of a diaper and Jonathan never wore them and he trained quickly so I have ordered these incredible training pants. Please go to their website. I can't wait for them to arrive. The website is called Kidalog.

I also ordered a book that I can't wait for. I ordered Faith Club on the suggestion of my good friend Heather. It looks so interesting and I hope that it comes this week so I can read it while lounging at the pool while the boys swim.

Well I don't know if I will update again before our big road trip but if not...I will be back in a few weeks with tonnes of pictures to post.

Ok so the summer has come and gone and I have really neglected my blog. The summer held lots of fun times and we went on an amazing summer holiday with Braden and Jon. Owen stayed home this time. We went on a road trip to Las Vegas, Coronado Bay, San Diego, Los Angeles, Anaheim. We had so much fun. A few weekends ago we went to Jurassic Forest . This place was very neat. All three kids loved it. It is set up so that you can walk around on these nicely built walkways careful not to disturb the forest that they have the dinosaurs built in. They are motion sensored and my favourite part was when Owen would patiently wait for the dinosaur to move. His pose made me giggle each time. I can't believe that there is only 2 weeks left in the summer break before school starts. Braden and Jon both start grade 3. I can't believe that these boys are growing so fast. We also spent a day at the beach. It is Alberta Beach and not as great as Allan Beach but a Beach is a Beach in my opin...

Swimming and Pay Per View

Image
So Jon has started swimming classes and they are going great...I have a bit of an issue though because he is a boy and I am a girl so I can not take him into my changing room. It is very stressful to wait out of the room and waiting for him. So the first time, Boris went with him and showed him how to work the locker and where to go. Tuesday, when we went it was just him and I, so I gave him 50 cents and went to meet him at the pool. It was only a few minutes and he happily met me at the swimming pool and handed me his towel and key. PERFECT. Class was over and so he went to the change room and I went to wait in the foyer. 15 minutes later and still no Jonathan. Luckily Susan from work was there with her two children and she sent her son to check on Jonny. He said Jon was fine and they left...another 10 minutes later, Jon came out stating: "DAMM Lockers". HAHAHA, apparently he didn't clue in that when you put the key back in...it doesn't give you your money back. Oh p...

Picture: May 7 Someone that Inspires You

Image
So many people inspire me that this one is a little difficult.  I defaulted with the picture to be my husband because not only does he inspire me but he pushes me to be the best in the world at what I do. This is his model face I do want to give an honorable mention though to someone whom I try to emulate in many ways... Roslyn .  She is that woman who does it all.  She has a great family, is amazing at her job, knows what hills to die on and how to continually continue to grow herself to be who she wants to be.  I absolutely adore her. Both these people have been instramental lately in listening to me vent, be a wet shoulder for me to cry on...literally, give advise and let me come up with my own advice.  I am a better person for both these people in my life.
